Snowbirding in 2020

Don’t rule out casinos. Easy on/off, along most main routes, always well marked, normally huge parking lots that are well lite, secured, and patrolled. Their hotels are fairly priced or extremely affordable. 7 by 24 food venue so no need to explore.

You can boondock at them, some will even have hookups, others will have a hotel with a nice warm room, HBO, unlimited hot water, free breakfast, and a wake up call so you can jump in your rig and hit the road early an refresh. No fuss, no muss. Small price in the grand scheme of things.

Yes, here are at least 2 in the northeast along I-95 that do not.

Not all cg's completely shut dowm

Make some calls to CG's on your intended route. Many will be open with electric and sewer. They just shut off the water. So you CAN stay at cg's on the way down. They keep the water on in the bath houses to shower. I come down from Wisconsin and use the CGs

If in doubt make a call. Been told more then once if there are cars in the lot there won’t be enough swing room to get out in the morning. I then ask for a recommendation which they are always more then happy to give.

We have traveled in our RV in winter conditions several times. Never stayed in a motel. Used bottled water. A bit of H2O in the grey and black tanks won't hurt.

Actually there were many CANADA geese at our home in Canada in late November in 2018.

If you are truly chasing Canadian Geese they leave in October.

We used RV antifreeze to flush the toilet and bottled water to cook and drink. Now if we take the RV we just leave in October.

make your campground/rv park reservations sooner rather than later.
